Matchday 31 of the English Premier League will bring an intense clash at St James’ Park, where Newcastle United will host Sunderland.

Despite a demanding schedule and a series of strong opponents, Newcastle have been performing impressively in recent weeks. In the Premier League they managed to defeat two giants of English football — Manchester United (2:1) and Chelsea (1:0). On top of that, the Magpies also secured a solid home draw against Barcelona in the Champions League, which further highlights their strong current form.

Sunderland, on the other hand, have not been making their fans happy lately. The team has lost four of their last six matches. In the previous round Sunderland suffered a narrow 0:1 home defeat against Brighton & Hove Albion. At the moment the club occupies 13th place in the Premier League standings.

Prediction for the Newcastle United vs Sunderland

It will be extremely difficult for the visitors to compete against a team that is currently in such strong form. Sunderland are also dealing with a serious injury crisis — nine players are currently sidelined, many of them key members of the starting lineup.

The only potential obstacle for Newcastle could be their tight schedule, which includes European competitions. However, it is unlikely that this factor will have a decisive impact on the result. Because of this, the most logical prediction here is a Newcastle United victory.
